I've interviewed a ton of bootcamp and "I took a class on Udemy so I'm a Full Stack Engineer(TM) now" candidates in the past year. There have been some really good engineers hired from bootcamps, but a lot of people just didn't learn how to code.
Bootcamps are hit or miss, but sometimes I think they spend more time on having their students create shiny LinkedIn and GitHub profiles to impress recruiters than teaching them how to write software.
That or the "I've been working with Drupal for 10 years" and now I'm applying to a position looking for 4ish years of Java. Sometimes I need someone with experience and that's just not going to cut it.
My favorite is getting word doc resumes filled with red squiggles. How am I going to trust you to care about accurate code when you can't be bothered to spell check a resume.
